An upper-level resident’s two sons and dog were in the house when the fire began. The persistent barking of the dog led the boys to check outside where they saw the building was ablaze.

Authorities, as of yet, have not reported any injuries, despite speculation of other pets still being inside the house that was engulfed in flames.

This is an ongoing fire, in Connecticut and future updates will be posted.
